MAFS’ Mike Gunner says he regrets Heidi Latcham split at Grand Reunion

Married At First Sight’s Mike Gunner fights back tears as he admits he REGRETS splitting from Heidi Latcham… before admitting he’d ‘kiss her’ if they reunited (despite having a new girlfriend)

They had a tumultuous romance on Married at First Sight, ultimately parting ways at the end of season six.

And during the Grand Reunion on Monday, a tearful Mike Gunner admitted his ex Heidi Latcham was a ‘missed opportunity’ and said he regretted their break-up.

Despite confirming he was dating someone else, the 45-year-old electrician confessed he would probably ‘just kiss’ Heidi if he ever saw her again.

Speaking out: MAFS star Mike Gunner choked up as he spoke about his former relationship with Heidi Latcham at the Grand Reunion on Monday night

‘She could light up a room like no one I’ve ever met. Everybody fell for it, and I see it as a huge missed opportunity,’ he said.

‘I don’t know if I’ve made peace with it, even two years later.

‘I made a lot of mistakes. They were hurtful to her and damaging to our relationship.’

When asked if the duo were still in touch, he said: ‘I’ve tried, but she doesn’t message back.’

During their season, Mike infamously told Heidi he ‘wasn’t her therapist’ while she tried to open up to him about her past on their honeymoon. 

And Mike admitted that his attitude towards her then was ‘wrong’, as he added: ‘I apologise for that behavior. 

‘I just can’t imagine what I was thinking, and I think I needed this perspective to see where I was going wrong.’

Despite speaking about his ex on the show – which was filmed in December – Mike says he’s now happier than every with his new girlfriend, Sonja, who he has gone ‘official’ with.  

Speaking to 9Now on Tuesday, Mike revealed more details about his new love after meeting her on the popular dating app Bumble.

‘I’ve been dating a girl for a few months. She’s from Brisbane and spends a lot of time down here on the Gold Coast with me. Things are going really well,’ he said.

‘She’s a real sweetheart and so gentle and she doesn’t have any judgements. She doesn’t make criticisms. She’s just got a positive outlook and has good energy.’
